閱讀理解（共14小題；每小題2分，滿分28分）

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的（A、B、C和D）四個選項中，選出最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該選項標號涂黑。

A

I was in a terrible mood. Two of my friends had gone to the movies the night before and hadn’t invited me. I was in my room thinking of ways to make them sorry when my father came in. “Want to go for a ride, today, Beck? It’s a beautiful day.” ks5*u

“No! Leave me alone!” Those were the last words I said to him that morning.

    My friends called and invited me to go to the mall with them a few hours later. I forgot to be mad at them and when I came home to find a note on the table. My mother put it where I would be sure to see it. “Dad has had an accident. Please meet us at Highland Park Hospital”.

    When I reached the hospital, my mother came out and told me my father’s injuries were extensive. “Your father told the driver to leave him alone and just call 911, thank God! If he had moved Daddy, there’s no telling what might have happened. A broken rib（肋骨）might have pierced（穿透）a lung...”

My mother may have said more, but I didn’t hear. I didn’t hear anything except those terrible words: Leave me alone. My dad said them to save himself from being hurt more. How much had I hurt him when I hurled those words at him earlier in the day?

    It was several days later that he was finally able to have a conversation. I held his hand gently, afraid of hurting him.

    “Daddy… I am so sorry…”

“It’s okay, sweetheart. I’ll be okay. ”

    “No,” I said, “I mean about what I said to you that day. You know, that morning?”

    My father could no more tell a lie than he could fly. He looked at me and said. “Sweetheart, I don’t remember anything about that day, not before, during or after the accident. I remember kissing you goodnight the night before, though. ”He managed a weak smile.

    My English teacher once told me that words have immeasurable power. They can hurt or they can heal. And we all have the power to choose our words. I intend to do that very carefully from now on.

The author was in bad mood that morning because _______.

    A. his father had a terrible accident

    B. he couldn’t drive to the mall with his friends

    C. his friends hadn’t invited him to the cinema

    D. his father didn’t allow him to go out with his friends

Why did the author say sorry to his father in the hospital?

    A. Because he didn’t go along with his father.

    B. Because he was rude to his father that morning.

    C. Because he failed to come earlier after the accident.

    D. Because he couldn’t look after his father in the hospital.

The reason why the author’s father said he forgot everything about that day is that _______.

    A. he had a poor memory B. he didn’t hear what his son said

    C. he just wanted to comfort his son    D. he lost his memory after the accident

    A. Don’t treat your parents badly.

    B. Don’t hurt others with rude words.

    C. Don’t move the injured in an accident.

The hit movie Notting Hill begins with a famous scene. Hugh Grant bumps (撞) into Julia Roberts and spills (灑) orange juice all over her. After the collision, Grant repeatedly says: “ I am so sorry. I am so sorry.”
His actions in this scene are very British. If Roberts’ character were from Britain then she would probably apologize repeatedly as well—even if the crash were not her fault. But this doesn’t happen in the film, as Roberts is from the US.
A report in The Telegraph last week said that three-quarters of British people apologize when they bump into someone in the street — regardless of whether they are responsible or not. In fact, we Britons use “sorry” in many situations. For example, if we mishear someone, we say “Sorry?” The person we are talking to will also apologize by replying: “No, I am sorry!” This can go on for up to five minutes as we compete over who is the most sorry.
Life is never as simple as “duibuqi” and “meiguanxi”.
How we use “sorry” has changed. Traditionally, “sorry” was used to express deep regret, but a survey in 2007 showed that we use it to mean anything from “what” to “whatever”.
Why are Britons so sorry? Mark Tyrell, a psychology writer in the UK, thinks about our apologetic tendencies are rooted in the British class system. We say sorry because historically the new middle classes in Britain had to apologize for not being working class, but also for not really being upper class. Another theory is that we apologize to avoid confrontation(沖突). For example, if you bump into someone they might get angry. To avoid this we instantly say “Sorry!”.
True manners are about being considerate and the modern day obsession with apologizing show that we are perhaps not as thoughtful as we once were. The word has lost some of its meaning. Do you see my point? Sorry, it might just be a British thing…
【小題1】What can we infer from paragraph 2?

A．In fact Roberts are responsible for the collision.
B．People from the US say “sorry” more than British people.
C．There is no crash happening in the film.
D．British people say sorry even if it is not their fault.
【小題2】Which of the following might Mark Tyrell agree to?
A．British people are sincere while saying sorry.
B．Now more British people say sorry because of the British class system.
C．British people say sorry to avoid quarrels.
D．British people apologize for not working hard.
【小題3】What does the author want to tell us with the passage?
A．British people overuse “sorry” in daily life.
B．British people now say “sorry” in different situations.
C．Middle classes in British are to blame for not being working class.
D．Britons say “sorry” to avoid confrontation.
【小題4】What does the underlined word “collision” in the first paragraph mean?
A．quarrelB．disagreementC．crashD．fight

讀寫任務(wù)（共1小題；滿分25分）
閱讀下面的短文，然后按照要求寫一篇150詞左右的英語短文。
Nowadays, we live in a global village, and many difficulties will arise if we can’t express ourselves fluently in English.
In spite of my awareness of its importance, I seldom find chances to practice and improve my oral English. So, I am still very weak with regard to this respect（方面）. One reason is that my pronunciation and intonation aren’t good enough. The other is that I am so shy that I am always too nervous to find other exact words to express my ideas and feelings. As a result the best way for me to do is to remain silent when others are practicing and making great progress in their oral English every day.
Now I am attaching much more importance to oral English and I have made up my mind to seize every opportunity to practice. I begin to participate in activities, such as going to “English Corners”, talking in English with my classmates and with native speakers. As the Chinese saying goes, “Nothing is difficult in the world if you really put your heart into it.” If I can build up my confidence, if I am not afraid of losing face any more, if I really work hard at it, I am sure my oral English will be excellent some day

科目：高中英語 來源：2013屆江西省高二下學(xué)期第三次月考英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

The other day, I received a most unexpected message in response to one of my essays: I am so proud of you and all you have accomplished. I shared your opinion …

It was signed Margaret Leibfried, who was my English teacher — a teacher who appeared at a vital (關(guān)鍵) point in my life and helped me believe that I could become a writer.

Thirty years ago, I entered high school as an introvert (性格內(nèi)向的人) made all the more shy because I was the school’s only nonwhite student. I always felt in danger of being swept away by a sea of tall white athletes. I spent a lot of time alone, reading and writing stories, hoping to escape being teased.

Ms. Leibfried taught American literature and composition grammar, which involved the usual memorizing vocabulary, but also, thrillingly, reading novels.

Thrilling to me, that is. Many of my classmates expressed dislike for novels because they were “not real.” For once, I didn’t care what they thought. Ms. Leibfried seemed to notice my interest in both reading and writing, and she took the time to make me feel less shy; she even offered me reading suggestions, like one of her favorite novels, “The Bell Jar.”

That year’s big project was a book report, to be read aloud to the class. However, Ms. Leibfried suggested I do something “a little different.” Instead of a report, I chose a passage from “The Bell Jar” that I considered as the best to recite.

The morning of the presentations, I remember my hands sweating so badly as I walked to the front of the class that I kept my hands crossed, so I wouldn’t wipe them on my blouse.

When I finished, to my surprise, the class applauded. “Marie has picked out a particularly sensitive piece of writing and delivered it beautifully,” Ms. Leibfried said, smiling. I felt, maybe for the first time, confident.

1.What was the author’s high school life like before she met Ms. Leibfried?

A．Lonely.

B．Exciting.

C．Wild.

D．Busy

2.In Paragraph 5, the author mainly tells us         .

A．how she cared what her classmates thought

B．when she became interested in “The Bell Jar”

C．why many of her classmates disliked novels

D．how Ms. Leibfried helped and encouraged her

3.Why did Ms. Leibfried ask the author to recite a passage in front of the class?

A．To test whether she had a good memory.

B．To make her earn the respect of her classmates.

C．To help deepen her understanding of “The Bell Jar.”

D．To guide her to build a good relationship with others.

4.How did the author feel when she made the presentation?

A．Comfortable.

B．sad.

C．Nervous.

D．Confident.

5.What was the author’s purpose in writing the text?

A．To express her thanks to her teacher.

B．To discuss the issue of racial prejudice (偏見).

C．To introduce one of her favorite books.

D．To suggest the ways to gain confidence.
